Whenever I bake up a batch of these tender, crisp, perfect oven baked red potato French fries, I secretly beam a little with pride, because dangit, they’re freakin’ fabulous.
Especially when sprinkled with some coarse salt, a good dose of freshly ground black pepper, and served up with a nice big dollop of ketchup. There’s not much better when it comes to a side or a snack, even if it’s not the most unique, creative not-even-a-recipe recipe I’ve ever shared here.
We enjoy these tasty little Oven Baked Red Potato French Fries alongside burgers (veggie for me) or brats, (veggie for me)or even all on their own. They’re a terrifically healthy alternative to deep-fried french fries, and with their crunchy bits here, crispy bits there, and soft puffs of potato in between, they taste just as great. Better, even.
To make easy oven fries even easier, I like to make these with thin-skinned potatoes like red or Yukon gold. No need to peel – just cut into wedges, toss with oil, season, and bake.
